If you notice any skin irritation, discontinue use immediately. If you have sensitive skin, wear gloves while making and playing with the slime.

So first of all with any and all of our slime recipes you always need parental supervision while they’re experimenting, please refer to our safety disclaimer.

This fluffy slime is really fun to play with! See how we turned it into unicorn fluffy slime. We always like to include a bit of homemade slime science around here! Slime is an excellent chemistry demonstration, and kids love it too! Butter slime only requires one extra ingredient and can be made using any of our three basic slime recipes. I will tell you which is my favorite below because we experimented with all three of them to find out which makes the best butter slime!

Once I’ve added the initial tablespoon, I usually add one small squirt at a time, mixing well between each addition. The key is to use only so much, depending on how soft the clay is! The denser the clay, like our clay below, the less you want to use. A softer clay will require you to use more. Feel free to experiment with the consistency you like the most.

Keep your butter slime stored in an air tight container or bag and it will last at least 1 week. We like to store in a Ziploc bag so we can press out all of the air from the bag. Safety tips: Adults only should make the slime and handle all chemicals. Do not substitute any ingredients in our slime recipes. If you have sensitive skin, wear gloves while playing with the slime. Always wash hands before and after use. If you notice any skin irritation discontinue use immediately. See the bottom of the post for more safety precautions.

Slime is a science experiment and should be made and played with in moderation. Do not allow children to make their own slime and do not play with slime for an extended period of time. Slime is a polymer. Other examples of polymers are Jell-O, gum and rubber bands. Glue is also an example of a polymer. A polymer is made of long chains of polyvinyl acetate molecules. These chains slide easily between one another making the substance pourable. Some butter slime recipes call for shaving cream, but this one is made with Model Magic and lotion. This will yield a super stretchy clay slime that doesn’t lose its volume after a few days like shaving cream slime inevitably does. Note: the clay in butter slime will make it harden faster than regular slime. Ingredients Needed to Make Butter Slime
